The computing device may include an antenna 120 connected, for example, to transceiver 118. The transceiver 118 and antenna 120 can be used for transmitting and receiving data, such as imagery data, captured by the device. In certain embodiments the computing device 100 does not provide image storage, for example, in memory 114. Instead, in such embodiments, the camera device merely captures and/or generates the imagery data and transmits the data to a different computing device, such a computer server or other computer, that may then store or process the imagery data. The data transmission may be facilitated by any various wireless protocols or standards, including, for example, the Bluetooth wireless protocol or the WiFi (e.g., IEEE 802.11) wireless protocol.
The computing device 100 may also include mounting hardware or otherwise mounting points 130, 132 for securing the computing device 100 to different surfaces, stands, or otherwise to affix or locate the camera in an optimal position to capture 2D or 3D imagery. In various embodiments, the location of the camera can depend, for example, on the environment or intended use for the computing device 100. For example, in one embodiment, the computing device may be mounted to the interior windshield or dashboard of a vehicle to capture 2D and/or 3D images, video or data of the operator of the vehicle. In other embodiments, the computing device may be attached to the exterior of the vehicle and used to capture images, video or data of the vehicle's operating environment.
